In a statement released over the weekend, the organization mentions two incidents. One of them occurred in Vilnius, where the holy book of Muslims, the Quran, was allegedly publicly burned. The other incident was recorded in Kaunas: during a worship service, bikers arrived at the mosque in Ramiškės Park, displaying a pig's head, playing loud music, and revving their motorcycle engines. The League welcomes the response of the Lithuanian authorities to these incidents, including a warning from the State Security Department about the rise of hate speech against Muslims in the public space, as well as a statement from President Gitanas Nausėda that these cases may not be isolated but rather planned provocations. "When authorities take measures to protect religious freedom, they are protecting not only one community but also the fundamental values of society as a whole," said the organization's chairman, Alfredo Maiolese. The statement emphasizes that the fight against Islamophobia should not be confused with limiting discussions that are acceptable in democratic states. However, issues of immigration, integration, and security, in the organization's view, should not become tools for intimidation, humiliation, or incitement to hatred. The European Muslim League is a non-governmental organization founded in 2010 in Italy. Its main goal is to present Islam as a religion of peace, respect, and coexistence, to promote intercultural and interreligious dialogue, and to prevent conflicts based on religion. On Saturday, protests against Lithuania's immigration policy took place in Vilnius: several hundred people protested "against mass immigration" in Vincas Kudirka Square, while on the other side of the street, more than a hundred people organized a counter-protest, expressing disagreement with this action. According to the Migration Department, in September, there were 226,999 foreigners with residence permits in Lithuania. Most of them are citizens of Ukraine (80.3 thousand), Belarus (47.8 thousand), Russia (13.2 thousand), Uzbekistan (12.6 thousand), and India (9.4 thousand).
